Sunbaker is a 1937 black-and-white photograph by Australian modernist photographer Max Dupain. It depicts the head and shoulders of a man lying on a beach in New South Wales, taken from a low angle. The iconic photograph has been described as "quintessentially Australian", a "sort of icon of the Australian way of life",[1][2] and "arguably the most widely recognised of all Australian photographs."[3]
